Merry Christmas Story Lovers! We are so excited to bring you our two-part CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!This is our version of Aladdin and his Magic Lamp.Here in the UK, we have a great tradition of Pantomime, and the story of Aladdin is very popular at Christmas! It's also a request from one of lovely patrons.You’ve probably seen the Disney version of Aladdin, but the older versions are a bit different.The story appears in later versions of the 1001 nights, or the Arabian nights, but it's actually not part of the early collection. It appeared in the 1700s and is thought to come from storyteller Hanna Diyab - but who knows where he got it from!You can find out more about the origins of Aladdin HERE.Make sure to listen out on Christmas Eve for PART TWO of this epic adventure - we'll also have a story from lovely Kim Normanton from Super Great Kids Stories as an extra Christmas treat.
